I Have A Problem Maintaining My Weight. Does Anyone Else Have This Problem?
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have had a problem losing weight without trying. When I went to my pulmonary doctor, he told me not to lose any more weight. Well all of a sudden I dropped about 15 lbs. Does any one else have this problem? How can I stop this cycle?

Yes I was losing a lot of weight also. My husband came home with some boost and made me start drinking it. I added high calories foods and now I am holding pretty steady with my weight.

PeterLima, My daughter that lives here also suffers from this disorder. She has to have a starching done ever so often in order to swallow properly. I wish you luck with your appointment and wish you the best. I will keep you in my prayers.

Drinking the ensure or boost will help allot. Having one right before you go to bed is a good trick also. I had the problem myself, and my son told me to eat before I go to bed. I am now at a healthy weight. Hopes this helps.

Ok....which ever one chooses......I know for me CO is what works for COPD.......CBD....Hemp Seed Oil etc etc is what is predominently used in Med MJ.....it is primary for Epilepsy, Cancer and other issues......

Vaping with compromised lungs i cannot recommend, but that's just me.......Anyway not here to disagree with anyone.....google can do that.......hugs..

Betty you need CO not CBD for COPD....One needs a high THC. If you do not want the buzz, like me, i use the oil in a capsule....This is to reduce inflamation and hopefully increase my breathing ability. PLUS it remains in your system for 24 hrs so you hope you don't getpulled over for a breath test for alcohol and they decide to do a drug test as well........The capsules are safe this way rather than vaping or using a tincture, under tongue.....
